Originally created by @seemsindie on GitHub.

So i just went to your website copied this:

# Add this to .bashrc or its equivalent 
transfer() { if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then echo "No arguments specified. Usage:\necho transfer /tmp/test.md\ncat /tmp/test.md | transfer test.md"; return 1; fi 
tmpfile=$( mktemp -t transferXXX ); if tty -s; then basefile=$(basename "$1" | sed -e 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9._-]/-/g'); curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$1" "https://transfer.sh/$basefile" >> $tmpfile; else curl --progress-bar --upload-file "-" "https://transfer.sh/$1" >> $tmpfile ; fi; cat $tmpfile; rm -f $tmpfile; }

I have save it in my .zshrc and when i run transfer test.txt i get this error:

Any idea why and how to fix it?

Did you source your .zshrc after copying/pasting?
